Fifteen Minutes Until Day One

Hello World!
Please stay tuned as my site becomes re-purposed to chronicle one woman’s quest to lose weight while raising two children, and struggling to become a full-time freelance writer. Did I mention I have to also make cupcakes for my son’s school party, and learn how to pickle brussel sprouts?
The journey begins in fifteen minutes. As I write to you, I’m inhaling a Sweet and Salty Nut Granola Bar - Peanut Flavour. I need to get it all into my system now so I can cleanse it all away beginning tomorrow.

Join me in the struggle that is weight loss, cheer me on, or watch from the sidelines; regardless of how you’ve come to my site, let the games begin.

A Letter to a Friend Contemplating Starting a Family

Dear Susan **:

A New Year, A New Lease on Life

Happy New Year, one and all. I can’t believe how long it has been since my last post. So many changes in my personal life as well. Funny, I never suspected having two children could be so hectic!
In an effort to get the year off to a positive start, I’ve decided to [...]
